Authorities have cautioned people that, because of Jordan having late-stage Alzheimer's, he may be confused or disorientated if approached.

Jordan is described as a white man who stands 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs approximately 150 pounds. He has short gray hair. He is possibly wearing a tan, light-weight jacket, blue pajama bottoms and slippers on his feet.

Anyone who sees Jordan or know of his possible whereabouts should call state police at 610-562-6885.
